    摘要: An electrostatic clamp includes a heating block for heating a substrate, the heating block having a first surface disposed toward the substrate and a second surface opposite the first surface. A base is arranged to adjoin at least a portion of the second surface of the heating block. The adjoined base and heating block may mutually define an inner gap between a first portion of the heating block and the base. An outer gap is arranged concentric with the inner gap between a second portion of the heating block and the base, the inner and outer gaps being isolated from one another by a first sealing surface formed between the second surface of the heating block and the base.

    摘要: A system (10) for the vacuum processing of substrates such as semiconductor wafers which includes a central handling chamber (14), a number of separately pumped and randomly accessed process chambers (16-19), and dual load lock chambers (22) which communicate with the central handling chamber. This configuration permits one batch of substrates to be subjected to load lock evacuation while a second batch, having been previously evacuated, is transferred one at a time to selected process chambers. Substrate transfer from the load locks to the central handling chamber is by means of elevators (42) and by means of a handling assembly (24) which undergoes and Z motion only, with final transfer from the central handling chamber to the process chambers being accomplished by pivoting platen assemblies (66).

    摘要: A method of cleaving a substrate is disclosed. A species, such as hydrogen or helium, is implanted into a substrate to form a layer of microbubbles. The substrate is then annealed a pressure greater than atmosphere. This annealing may be performed in the presence of the species that was implanted. This diffuses the species into the substrate. The substrate is then cleaved along the layer of microbubbles. Other steps to form an oxide layer or to bond to a handle also may be included.

    摘要: A substrate is implanted with a species to form a layer of microbubbles in the substrate. The species may be hydrogen or helium in some embodiments. The size at which the microbubbles are stable within the substrate is controlled. In one example, this is by cooling the substrate. In one embodiment, the substrate is cooled to approximately between −150° C. and 30° C. This cooling also may reduce diffusion of the species in the substrate and will reduce surface roughness when the substrate is cleaved along the layer of microbubbles.

    摘要: Wafer-holding structures formed from thermosetting resins are disclosed for use in semiconductor processing including, for example, SIMOX wafer processing. In one embodiment a pin is disclosed that is adapted to receive a wafer edge, and is coupled with a wafer holder assembly. The pin can be filled with a conductive material to provide an electrical pathway between the wafer and the wafer holder assembly, which can be coupled to a ground. This arrangement provides a conductive path for inhibiting electrical discharges from the wafer during the ion implantation process. The pin exhibits thermal isolation characteristics and sufficient hardness so as to not effect localized thermal dissipation of the wafer, yet is sufficiently soft so as to not mark or otherwise damage the wafer.
